4-6Carmer and Grit series.
Magician's assistant Carmer and one-winged fairy princess Grit team up to win a magic competition and to stop the Mechanist, a masked illusionist, from using enslaved fairy magic in his act. But first they must learn to trust each other. Despite some contrived motivations, the story's intricate steampunk elements and nature-based fairy magic will appeal to fantasy fans.
